Does anyone know of any sincere people who are committed to helping Career EA’s in finding full time work?
I have a long tenure working in Financial Firms as an EA, working for Major Institutions and getting nowhere with recruiters, or applying on my own to companies directly.
Either they are filled internally, or they just want a contracted worker to save money.
There has been a lack of transparency and communication between agency and Hiring Managers where it is unclear whether or not a position may become permanent or not.
It is a vaguer than the day, and my time being wasted.
It has been suggested to me to not deal with recruiters because companies are dishonest with them about where the job really will land.
When I need the money, I find myself just taking the temp jobs just to show that I am working, but then I fear that makes me look choppy.
Many jobs have been misrepresented to me as the potential to become permanent, but in the end, not the case and nothing I did.
I don’t know what to do. I love what I do, and I am good at it, but feel taken advantage of by agencies who just want to make a commission by filling a body, and not an invested interest in me as a committed person.
Any Advice would be helpful!
